Most Lit Candles Extinguished By Farting (World Record!?) A man has NOT set a world record for putting out candles by farting (he gave it a good go though)

Some people are football heroes, others mathematical geniuses, but everyone has a talent… some less obvious than others.

Take this man for example, who claims to have broken the world record for extinguishing candles using his… er… natural bodily functions.

Gerard Jessie, from the Philippines, hopes his unusual ability will bring him a bit of fame, however unfortunately for him there is no official world record kept for extinguishing candles via the power of fart, even if you can do it five times in a row.

Trust us, we checked.

‘I just went through our database and this record is not recognised as a Guinness World Records title,’ a Guinness World Records spokesperson told Metro.co.uk.
